Okcupid doesn't encourage you to answer a number of match questions for no reason. These percentages arise from mathematical algorithms developed by Harvard grads working for Okcupid. And from my experience, these questions do an AMAZING job at predicting who you are most compatible with, and put this site above POF anyday. I caution you that some people may not have answered enough questions to give you a satisfactory rating, so keep that in mind. However, if both you and the person you are messaging have answered a significant number of questions and your match percentage is LOW--why are you messaging them? Often, I get messages from people with match percentages so low I don't even know how they found me. I find myself thinking "WHY would you even bother?" A low match percentage indicates low compatibility on topics that serve as the foundation for successful relationships. If you can't agree on the simple things, how do you think you would do when faced with a real challenge? A word for the wise- trust your match percentage, and let it guide you toward the right people.
My name is Tori, and I have been on and off online dating sites for years and have been fortunate to have relationships come from them. In those years, I am pretty confident that I have seen almost everything. Trust me. As a result, I have finally decided to create a help page for those of you who have yet to find success in online dating.
I am a psychology major, and plan to use my knowledge of social psychology and sociology to help you learn what people are looking for in a partner. In addition, I will call upon my own experience as a female and an experienced user of online dating sites to relate this back to real life. On this page, you will read some things that seem like common sense and some that might be new to you. I hope that all of these are helpful.
"I just wanted to take a second and say thank you. I read every word in your profile and I think its great that you took the time to put something together like that. Hopefully i can learn something from it. :)"
"Well I see everywhere I've went wrong. Thanks for the tips. I'm sure everything will come together now! Thanks a lot..."
"I find your profile very helpful and will be on it now and again for sure. You should definitely make a youtube account for this. You are more thorough then any other person/article I have read. I think you are great at analyzing and very detail oriented which is awesome."
